Elon Musk chatted with Bill Maher, and, when asked to define the “woke mind virus” he’s always warning against, said students are (accurately) being taught that George Washington owned slaves. He also had to be reminded that seawater is not drinkable. https://t.co/xY7MygDEQy— 🌴 🌺 ⛅️ Miles Klee 🐠🦉🦂 (@internethague) April 29, 2023
These guys struggle so hard to define "woke" because if you define it, it sounds too reasonable. I can give an objective, boring definition of how they use it. Wokeness is the belief that there are oppressive systems in society such as racism, sexism, anti-LGBTQ systems, and classism. Proponents of wokeness believe everyone has a moral obligation to dismantle these systems.
If anyone gave a definition like that, the obvious responses would be "Wait, so you don't think there's racism?" or "You're on the side of racism?"
Even the word 'woke' is a confession of what they hate about it. I can't imagine this culture war will be good for the control they seek over their kids' minds
When I was a kid I knew I was supposed to hate LGBTQ people, but all I ever saw them asking for was completely reasonable. I watched the bitterest, most loveless people in my life try to assert a monopoly on love, and it helped me see that they're the broken ones

I'd go as far as to say they use it as a substitute for the n word.
